Imagine zooming across crystal-clear waters at nearly 90 km/h, feeling the wind whip through your hair and the spray of the sea on your face. That’s exactly what you get on the High-Speed Speedboat Adventure in Alcudia Bay, a 1-hour adrenaline rush that balances excitement with stunning scenery. Led by the charismatic Captain Salvador, this tour promises a personal, fun-filled ride for just 12 lucky passengers at a time.
The experience kicks off from Alcudia, a picturesque town on Mallorca’s northern coast. For about $61.41 per person, you’ll join a small group on a sleek speedboat, racing around Alcudia Bay, passing notable sights like the Aucanada lighthouse, and reaching the secluded paradise of Coll Baix—a cove accessible only by boat. The highlight? Jumping into the clear waters for a swim or snorkeling session, then jumping back into the thrill of the ride.
What we love most? The intimate size of the group, which means fewer crowds and more personal attention, and the combination of high-speed fun with natural beauty — it’s not just about speed, but also about appreciating Mallorca’s rugged coastline and hidden gems. The only caveat? The ride is weather-dependent, so if the skies turn grey, you might need to reschedule or seek a refund. This tour is perfect for those who crave adrenaline and enjoy coastal landscapes, especially if you’re traveling with friends or family who love an active experience.
